Wiggs, let me rephrase that, Deion was the best pro athlete. I will agree Bo was a genetic freak, but Deion was no slouch. Dude batted over .500 in the World Series, only dude to hit a home run and score a touchdown in the same week, would play games back to back. He was an animal. Florida State track star too.

Boner Jackson was a thing of visceral beauty to watch, amazing physical specimen with elite athletic prowess. Hall of fame running back and all star power hitter (amazing outfielder, CANNON arm) in one human being

If there i one athlete i feel sorry for it's Bo Jackson, cut down in the absolute prime of a one in a million career. that must have really sucked. almost as tragic as Dorian tearing a bicep

Deoin Sanders was similar, but he was a DB/ contact hitter, didn't have near the explosive power Bo had.

Have you noticed the field filled with chubby white guys running around him? Yea put him in the NFL with those great African genes everywhere and everyone has the same athletic ability as him or much better with size and he gets destroyed.

This reminds me of much of my young life, that one black kid playing on a couple of the private school teams(including my own) that dominated against teams that were all white.. then going to college and being average at best.

This.

and he's actually getting caught from behind by these guys, they just can't bring him down because he's a big bastard. he would get crippled in the NFL.

The world's fastest and most powerful humans play in the NFL and the CFL...end of story

Wearing all that padding in case they hurt themselves, load of big girls blouses the lot of them. Put them in a game of rugby and watch them melt. Watch some of the rugby tear up's on you tube it might change your mind.

If those guys were such badasses they would be playing in the NFL making millions.

Wearing the protective gear makes it more dangerous. When an NFL safety comes in on a defenseless receiver and decides to go helmet to helmet, it's lights out time. A rugby helmet doesn't lend itself to this kind of reckless abandon.
